I have gotten into the bad habit of making a portion of these, that I keep in a big glass jar. That way there is always something to put my cheese or Rillette onto. They taste amazing. They are made of grains and seeds, so they are also good if you know someone who can not tolerate gluten, milk, eggs, etc. Or for people who do not eat carbohydrates. In that case you should probably leave out the fig-mustard I'm using in the picture though :-)

Marble Cake is one of the classic variations of pound cake. It is in fact, the same recipe just with a little cocoa in it. This is a recipe for "half a marble cake" so to speak. Instead of 7 oz of each ingredient that you typically use for a cake in spring form, I use 3½ oz. It yields a small cake, so I also use a small spring form for it.

Garam Masala is a spice mix. Made up of a lot of regular spices mixed together. Actually it is Indian/Pakistani but it can easily be used in other cuisines as well. Many of the same spices are used in Arabic and Mexican cuisine as well. So it is a very practical thing to have in the cupboard as it goes well with a range from foods from Chicken Tikka Masala to tacos ans burritos.

This is an even better version of potato chips. They fry better. They taste better. Just slightly acidic and mildly salted all the way through. It is basically the same recipe as regular potato chips. The only difference is that they are fermented before cooking. Basically like homemade saukraut is made

There is no doubt that potato chips are easiest to just buy. But the uniformity of the factory made I find unattractive. So when it is gin-tonic Friday in the small home, it is time to bring out the homemade chips. And the homemade guacamole. And salsa fresca.

Video Recipe - Foie gras terrine or as the French are saying "Terrine de foie gras" is a classic. It is just the fat liver of a duck or a goose where you add salt, pepper and a little alcohol. But the traditional method is difficult to do correctly, and too much of the fat melts of and is wasted.

So I find that this is the perfect recipe to make using sous vide.

Recipe with video - Pecan nuts was not something I was used to growing up in Denmark. I only first tasted them when visiting Danish friends working in USA a little over 20 years ago. They made a pecan pie recipe they had gotten from their neighbors. And that mild walnut flavor tested just right for me. It is also one of the best nuts to caramelize.
